So you answered your phone? Then you pay roaming fees for that use. Telus does not offer Wi-Fi calling service outside Canada.
I did speak with them - they explained it
When I was with Rogers - I had wifi calling - simply was part of my air time, no roaming fees
Based on my experience with Rogers, I mistakenly thoght that it would be the same with Telus
When in the UK used an e-sim so no issues.
Will be reconsidering how to manage going forward as there are more travel plans
Thanks for the reply
EK Currently, only Rogers and Freedom don't restrict Wi-Fi calling outside Canada.
With a mobile device though, it can be tricky to keep your VPN enabled 24/7. If you have it on "always on" then you might lose complete connectivity. It's not reliable in my experience.
